. waste management

The industrial waste generated by Securit’s productive process, before being disposed of or sent to treatment, passes through a laboratory analysis to identify its composition and apply the best and most viable final destination technology.

The company follows rigorously all waste management procedures, sending the material for treatment and/or elimination with all related waste handling certifications of environmental interest in full compliance with CETESB rules. At our plant in Guarulhos (High Tietê Hydrographic Basin) there is a treatment station for chemical effluents generated during the production process, where also the separation and destination of I, II and IIA class industrial waste occurs, as described below:

Description of the technologies applied on the waste generated during the industrial process.

1. Co-Processing: it is the thermal destruction of residues in cement furnaces. It distinguishes itself for being a sustainability allied solution for using waste as an alternative fuel - due to its energy potential - and also as a raw material substitute for the cement industry.

2. Industrial landfill: this is an environmentally safe solution for the final disposal of class I, IIA and IIB waste. The landfills are constructed with a state of the art soil impermeabilization technology, using a total waste containment technique, with drainage and treatment of gaseous and liquid effluents, continuously monitored to secure maximum environmental safety.

3. Recycling: Recycling is the term regularly used to name the reuse of processed materials as raw materials for a new product. Several materials can be recycled, the most common being paper, glass, metal and plastic. The biggest advantages of recycling are the reduction of the use of natural sources, which are often not renewable, and the reduction of the quantity of waste that needs final treatment, such as landfilling or incineration.

4. Reuse: this means using a product for more than once, regardless of its use. The reuse itself doesn’t solve waste related problems but it contributes in its management, for its intensive re-use by third parties, giving the product longer life and reducing the use of natural resources.

5. Incineration: the incineration units are capable of safely destroying highly hazardous solid, liquid and viscous waste. It is the process of destruction via thermal oxidation at temperatures ranging from 800º to 1200 °C. Incineration of medical waste is not compulsory as a means of treatment, but it’s considered the best treatment alternative, because of the following factors:

It stongly reduces waste quantity, leaving a small amount of ashes;

It’s a simple process although critical in regards to operational procedures compliance;

The downside, in case the plant is not correctly designed and operated, is the emission of toxic compounds such as dioxins and furans.

Aluminium: Recyclable material, its scrap is transformed into new products by the raw material supplier.

Painting booths are equipped with water curtains to minimize pollution.

The exhausting system of woodworking machinery is equipped with bag filters to prevent particulate elements’ dispersion.

History

1940

Created in São Paulo and founded by Engineer Aldo Magnelli, then director for Olivetti in Brazil. From Olivetti machine assembler, the company gradually amplifies its product range, adding dismountable storage shelves for industrial stocking, bookcases, and armchairs with "giroflex" mechanism and horizontal file cabinets. Organized according to European criteria, with serial production and assembly line, it becomes the first modern furniture manufacturer in Brazil.

During the decade, it launches the first totally dismountable table, with 234 different combinations, conceptually modern to this day. It is the first company of the sector to install a complete ambiance, setting the first Office Furniture System in Brazil.

The 50s

With the advent of the automobile industry, the modern manufacturing structure allows Eng. Magnelli to accept the challenge of producing auto parts and components for the white line industry. During the same period he starts the production of steel kitchens and this consolidates the Securit brand as a market leader. Syngas helped the country during the fuel shortages.The 60s and 70s

Sandro Magnelli takes charge of the company, replacing his father, and builds the second plant where the highlight is the completely automated woodwork manufacture, the most modern in Brazil. Tecnoramic, the first office system with electrifiable and panoramic partition walls is launched.

Canadian license pallet racks and mezzanines completed the line.

The company launches the Residence kitchen, licensed by Boffi Cucine, in collaboration with Pier Ugo Boffi and made entirely of wood.The 70s and 80s

The company becomes an exporter, opens a branch in Houston and wins a prize in the USA. Desks made of hardwood jacaranda, ironwood, sucupira and ivory wood are a success all over the world.The 80s and 90s

A period of great difficulties, with the country s high inflation rate, the company manages to stay in business and creates the Modular system, a synthesis of panoramic office furniture models, sold in high volumes. The production of the 40/4 chair, a classic of international design by North American David Rowland and today part of the New York Museum of Modern Art collection, is started.The 90s

The company innovates introducing products with a higher added value, while maintaining the attributes. The Securit brand product was made to last and has continued throughout decades. Massive introduction of aluminum sections and launching of the high technology Element and Network furniture systems: the first ones in Brazil using stackable partitions, with frontal removal. International design by Chris Sykes. By the end of the 90s, the start of a new century, items are gradually eliminated and the company focuses only on durable, technologically valid and innovative products.2000

The production of storage systems undergoes an important evolution, resulting in the launch of Tango, the sliding archive. A new segment of the Securit brand for trade fairs, storage shelves, events and stores added to the Clic and Pila constructive system offices, with international design by Burkhardt Leitner.

The modular system, with the Alfa desks, is renewed by Chris Sykes and the Stand 50 panel System emerges. Platform desks appear on the market and Securit presents its Connect platform as well.

By the end of 2008 the Lynx line designed by Chris Sykes enters the company portfolio.XXI Century

The history of the company and its products shows a constant concern in offering customers the best, both in terms of product and solution. Securit is attentive to the market changes and needs, and closer to the main focus, its customer. The consequent change of the corporate image encouraged us further in pursuing the achievement of our vision.The New Brand

The Securit brand has always been in tune with the culture of its time. The new brand comes to translate into image its commitment of more than 60 years with design, with technology and with the human being.

An image that is at the same time strong and warm. A smiley signature, closer to the user, more compatible with the best products offered by the Brazilian furniture market. Joy and warmth that bring life to the new Securit brand are concentrated on the red letter "e".

Securit is proud of being part of the history of the Brazilian 20th century design. And it continues to be connected to the world, fully committed in offering the best design for the 21st century. Securit. Design Today.Chico Homem de Melo

Continuing the Bauhaus and Ulm School of Design tradition, he created the parameters for the functional aesthetics of design for fairs.

With an endless curiosity, he has not only been working in new types of architecture systems, but has also been dedicated to promote international design. Among others, he is member of the jury of the Mia-Seeger-Stiftung and of the German Design Council, where he is the first designer representing the segment of fairs and exhibitions.
